Once upon a time Evan Champion shaped the electrons to say...
>I want to force all traffic going from users on my PM3 to port 80 on the
>net to be redirected to my squid cache server.

You can block access to the net on port 80 and only permit access to port
80 on your cache.

But there is no way for you to redirect the traffic. All you can do is
block other access and tell the users to reconfigure their browsers.

I don't envy you that task...

Even if you could redirect the traffic, you'd have to spoof the destination
since the browser won't take a reply from a different host than the one it
contacted.
